Dear J.C.: I did not enjoy this GOP-Munchak composite ‘Toon. Mr. A.J. Munchak is no Richard M. Nixon. The other day John Cole joined the other injured secular media Gods in denouncing Texas for its having blinders on education systems, banning books, thought. Perhaps NOW is an appropriate time to examine both the media & public school’s conventional wisdom on R.M. Nixon and Watergate?

No Angel, Mr. Nixon’s book “in the Arena” makes a fascinating reference to top White House aides whose PERSONAL agendas may have been behind the Watergate break-in. Referring to his 6/23/1972 order to have the CIA intervene with the FBI, Mr. Nixon said, “I made the inexcusable error of following the recommendation from some members of my staff — some of whom, I later learned, had a personal stake in covering up the facts — and requesting that the CIA intervene.” To this very day, it is rare for American high school students to experience rays of sunlight on Watergate, the Nixon resignation. Unfortunately, most students will look at John Cole’s Munchak ‘Toon today, and conclude, “man…, what a nifty comparison.” Although there are religious themes bearing down on learning, perhaps Texan students might have more depth of understanding about the Nixon presidency than Mr. Cole?

Again, Mr. Munchak is no Richard Nixon. We do not yet know if the former is a “crook.” Thanks to our education system, we do not know much about Watergate. Here is what I do know: Yesterday evening I was at the SWB airport. I looked around at the palatial stone and stained wood structures. One has to admire what County corruption had built!
